REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON

THE UNIFICATION CHURCH
AND THE MAINSTREAM
THOUGHT OF HISTORY

The topic of Father's sermon this morning is Tong Il Kyo Hwe Chun
Nip Kwa Som, or, in English, The Establishment of the Unification
Church and the Mainstream Thought of the Dispensational History. Do
you understand that? Of course the creation of mankind is a part of the
dispensational history, but, specifically, today Father means how God worked
to restore mankind after the fall.

Before Father speaks this morning, he wants to know, did you all receive
a copy of the speech Father mentioned last week? Did you give it a good
reading? When did Father give that speech? Exactly twenty years ago, in
1973. At that time, Father revealed everything about the completion of
the Old Testament and the New Testament and about going towards the Completed
Testament era. Father spoke in such detail, but looking back on it now,
twenty years later, have we Unification Church members accomplished what
Father outlined? No, we have not acted on all that Father spelled out.
We must understand that when Father says something, it becomes the requirement
and when we fail to act, someone has to make up that gap. We cannot advance
without doing that. That is restoration by indemnity. By paying indemnity,
we level the ground. Otherwise, there will be too big a hole, for man to
go over.

All the Blessed couples who came into being since that time remain without
accomplishing the will they were supposed to fulfill. If they cannot do
that, they remain in the same position. We did not fulfill our responsibility,
but somehow the situation was made up, somehow we continued to go along.
It was only because Father intervened every single time, lifted us up and
patched the hole by paying the indemnity. This was twenty years ago. We
should have been able to do what Father was able to do by inheriting that
victorious foundation, and gladly paying indemnity like Father did. It
was Father who brought the victory in the midst of persecution, not us.

Do you remember the motto of this year? It is "The New Family and
the Fatherland". The new family means that this is a new beginning
in the Completed Testament era. This is not a continuation of the old family.
We are clearly standing on the new era of our advancement. Also, for all
of us, "the Fatherland" means that each one is an Adam and Eve.
Adam and Eve are the ancestors of the individual and the ancestors of the
family and the nation and eventually the world. We represent that country.
We are going towards that. We are the root of this era, so we are the forefathers
for the unified fatherland. The root of the individual, the root of the
family, the root of the clan, and the root of the nation are all the same.
What this means is that if you look from the world's viewpoint, and you
trace the root up or down, we all come back to the same root. This is true
for the nation, the clan, the family, and even the individual. The root
is all the same. All countries of the world eventually trace down to one
root. It means through this one root, all families, nations and even the
world must be connected. Since we have one root, it means we have one trunk
and unified branches. We don't have the branch of a different trunk or
a different root.

When we accomplish this connection and unity in deed, the world will
come into unity. If you ask people of each nation where their root is,
their answers will be comprised of many different roots and origins. For
example, if you ask American people where their roots are, they will say,
"My root is in Washington." Their answer may only be local; it
does not apply to the whole world. Does God think that Washington is the
root of all mankind? Japanese people will trace their root in different
ways. Amaterasu omino kami is the goddess which they trace their root to.
We must understand the motto Father set. The unified fatherland only comes
into being through the Completed Testament era. We can see this now; everyone
belongs to and can be traced to the same root.

Adam and Eve were the real root, not only of themselves, the individuals
Adam and Eve, but Adam and Eve's family, Adam and Eve's clan, nation and
so forth. They are the root of it all. There is only one root. Since no
one can recognize or know where the true roots are, True Parents appear
and distinguish the false roots, what people may think their roots are,
and then present the true root. Members of the Unification Church know
our teaching encompasses the deepest area of philosophy: the value of mankind,
how mankind should conduct themselves, where God is and what He is to us.
All these deepest areas, the heartistic world, the origin of God's heart,
can now be known. Our teaching reaches to the depths of history, which
mankind has never known. Centering on True Parents, the truth has come
alive. They have given us knowledge that connects us to the beginning.
Do you understand? Do you have a clear idea what Father means by "main
thought"?

When we say unification, we are not just talking about the unification
of divided countries like North and South Korea or Germany. The unification
of all mankind's thought is included here. Last time, Father spoke about
a very important subject. He laid out all the important ingredients, all
the important points of the restoration of dispensational history and Father
expects us to carry that out.

Today is the 39th anniversary of the establishment of the Unification
Church, but, counting this year, it is the 40th. Which is the root: the
Unification Church or Father? (Father.) Who is the root, Father or God?
Yes, it began with God. God is the origin of all origins. The stalk, or
the main trunk of dispensational history is this mainstream thought. The
mainstream is the actually important center thought, the ideal of creation.
Anybody can say, "God's will," and everybody thinks, "Yes,
God's will, I understand what it is." But no one understands the content
and the details. We must have a clear understanding.

Father remembers a conversation with one renowned scholar. Asked what
God's will is, he said, "Well, it is simple, but quite complicated.
It is very elusive." How can you say it is simple and complicated
at the same time? There are many denominations and many religions, but
they failed because they have no definition of God's will. We have defined
it clearly. Everyone is holding onto a different standard according to
their own meters and measurement. No matter how tenaciously they hold onto
this, it will fail and not mean anything when the true standard appears.
You may have a standard made out of wood or some precious metal other than
gold. If gold is indeed the standard, then no matter how much more precious
a metal another standard could be made of, it is not the real thing. Others
could bring out imitation gold and even real gold and try to challenge
saying, "I have the real standard. You have only a wooden standard
which will not do," but that won't be a valid argument. This analogy
fits the Unification Church. No matter how the Unification Church may look,
God said it is the standard.

Other people are saying, "Look at us, we are made up of pure gold.
Can't you see?" But pure gold doesn't do when we have the genuine
standard here. Who teaches this standard is important. "God's will"
includes all the mainstream thought which God had. What is it? What are
they? We see all theological seminaries, of all different denominations
in the world, and each have a different definition concerning God's will.
Each one says different things. First they disagree, then they disagree
more strongly, then they insist. Then what happens? A war or a battle;
fighting begins. That is exactly what we see today. In the Last Days, this
is a phenomena we see.

This happens between countries, too. Each one asserts his own righteousness
and they fight each other.

Father defined God's will in a very simple way. God's will is to accomplish
the ideal of creation. Period. Isn't that true? Once it is said, it is
simple, isn't it? God is absolute and because He is absolute, does He have
two different ideas or just one? Absolutely one idea! That is a logical
conclusion.

What is the completion of the ideal of creation? We can take it to the
next step and say it is the completion of the four position foundation.
What is the completion of the four position foundation? It can be explained
in other words by saying it is the completion of the ideal of love. By
accomplishing the four position foundation, love is completed. True love,
of course. It is all-inclusive. We have everything important there.

Everything in creation exists in a pair system. How do they unify? In
other words, two eyes must have one focus. They focus on love, otherwise
one eye will wander on one focus and the other eye will wander in another
direction. The same is true of life. Life focuses on love and tries to
propagate life. The nervous system, the circulation system, you name it-any
system circulates and is harmonious centering on love. The eyes of man
and the eyes of woman are different. The eyes of women always think about
and look for all that belongs on earth. They wear clothes of a variety
of colors, perfectly representing everything on earth. The sky is only
one color, while on earth there are many colors. Look at the men sitting
here. They are wearing either gray or brown. You only see two colors. It
is good that women are shorter than men. They can look at the earth much
easier. (Laughter.) What would happen if there were tall women? Men are
tall so they reach out to the sky and give protection in all four directions.
It is not really admissible, this idea that exists in America especially,
that women are the subject. Can it be true? It is not totally without meaning,
though. In the Last Days, when the Second Coming appears near, it is their
privilege as American women to stand in the subject position. But the duration
of that is only seventy years. In that sense, it is truly a part of God's
planning or dispensation. For that seventy years of time in the Last Days,
American women, especially centering on Christianity, will stand in the
subject position so they can meet the yet greater subject and connect with
all other objects. That is the meaning behind this thinking.

When you narrow down Adam and Eve, they were brother and sister. A brother
and sister got married, in other words. When this brother and sister are
close, close enough to get married, this is when the confusion arises.
Now, not being able to distinguish mother and father, the children, even
grandfather and grandmother, all of them feel confused and see no distinction
between them so they marry each other. That phenomena occurs, too. It is
clearly Satan's direct intervention, directly misleading and confusing
people so they remain under satanic dominion and do not reach to God. Of
course, we can say that because of the lack of a clear standard, they do
not know what the relationship should be or which way they should go. We
must understand the ideal of creation and then we can come to know that
the ideal of creation is to establish the four position foundation. The
four position foundation is to create True Love. Centering on these main
ideas is all important. We must understand all the descriptions and all
the relationships of creation. The amazing fact is that the Unification
Church has achieved these. All of the thinking, teaching and action of
the Unification Church is founded on these consistent lines: True Love,
the four position foundation and the ideal of creation.

First, we perfect heaven on earth and accordingly, later on, the accomplishment
of the kingdom of heaven in spirit world will come about automatically.
Once we get hold of God's True Love, then wherever we may travel, God is
connected. It is not a conceptual teaching at all. Even though it begins
from a concept, it is reality. If you open up your spiritual eyes, you
can go ask a big tree, "What is your purpose in life? Why do you exist?
Why do you breathe?" It will tell you, "I exist for the sake
of love." What about a big rock which isn't even alive, and belongs
to the mineral kingdom? It, too, would answer you, "I exist for the
sake of love." Even in the atomic kingdom, electrons and neutrons
would answer the same way. There is no way of denying it. This is the reason
why all things are in pairs: it is for love.

Where does the true, basic concept of the universe come from? True Love.
True Love was the beginning. Because of True Love and starting from True
Love, the whole world came into being. We can even go so far as to say
that God came into existence for the sake of love. If there was no love,
then God, too, would have no purpose in existing. Before we even think
about the universe, we can think of True Love. True Love was there in the
very beginning. Before we understand more deeply about True Love, we can
see the male and female or subject and object concept in all things. Every
existence has that dual characteristic. Observe more carefully and try
to find one exception. You will find none.

Today scientists explore, and they maintain that the universe is made
up and held together by a force or power. But they do not follow on with
logical steps after that because force only comes into being when there
is an action. Without action, there is no force. Someone should observe
this and ask the question, "Which is first: because of force, action
takes place or because of action, force comes to be noticed?" Which
one is first?

When a man grows up, real love power does not act upon him. He has no
involvement in love action. He grows up by the energy of man. With that
he grows, but love is yet to come. His mind and body have to take action
and then he grows, becoming older and older. When he meets his spouse,
a tremendous power takes place. Before that, there is action, but even
before the action something else must exist first. That is subject and
object relationship. In a man, he gets power when his mind and body come
into unity. He has two eyes instead of one, and two nostrils; everything
comes in two. We see that subject and object relationship is everywhere
and it exists for the sake of love.

We see development in this order: love between subject and object, then
love action gives rise to the force. That is the order. What the scientists
observe today is the resulting force. This idea never occurred to them
yet. Even though we are not scholars, we know, of course, it is love because
of subject and object and the strong power of love. Before the action comes,
a subject and object relationship must come. The subject and object relationship
will lead to action which will give rise to a force. Before they do that,
there must be love. Love is the beginning. We can instantly explain this
to anyone. This law influences everything. It doesn't just apply to man
or plants. It applies even to the mineral kingdom and the vegetable kingdom,
as well as the human kingdom. You name it: every existence comes under
this principle.

We have truly learned and even mastered these standard concepts, but
have we paid our tuition? Can you buy love with money? You see, when you
do not pay, when you do not understand, you cannot gain the fullest value.

Here is a situation with a man and a woman. As soon as their eyes meet
and they are attracted to each other, nothing can stop them. All five senses
will meet each other and nothing can stop them. They can go into fire,
water, anywhere. That is the power of love. You cannot convert that into
money. No matter how much she may have, even millions or billions worth
of property or money, once she is in love then all things don't matter
anymore. No matter what happens, God is filled with joy and laughing at
the sight of this. That is how we feel, too.

God invests and forgets, invests and forgets, all too willingly and
happily, all because of love. Otherwise, He couldn't do it. For the man
of love, the more he adds to the love pond, the more happy he becomes.
He becomes happier and happier and later he will fly. He will cruise the
universe like a world of stars. When you go to embrace a star, it will
start dancing and God will also dance. This is the power of love. Do you
like the love pond? Do you think if we dumped America into the pond of
love that any one of the 240 million people in this country would oppose
it? Would they mind? Once they know what it is, they would not even want
to stand in line. They would want to cut in line and go in first to jump
into the pond of love. No matter how excited we may be, there is always
order in the love world, too, so you cannot cut in line, but must stand
in line and wait your turn.

Our members, for instance, can stand in their proper position. One criteria
is at what time they joined the church and were reborn. The line will be
formed in that kind of chronological order. They will talk about the day,
hour, minute and even second they arrived. If one person arrived even one
second earlier than someone else, then of course, he is the elder brother.
So no matter how high you are-you may be the president of a nation-you
are the younger brother. What must you say to your older brother? The older
brother will tell the younger brother who is the president of a nation,
"You are my younger brother, can you do this for me?" How can
he refuse?

We must understand these points and once we do, we don't have to recite
them every day; we know it. The utmost valued characteristic of the Unification
Church comes from this knowledge. That is why so many scholars follow Reverend
Moon. They follow him because Father knows deeper underlying principles
than they and they know that. That is why hundreds of thousands of scholars
center on Father himself. Scholarly work is not our specialty, those of
us sitting here. We are not the best scholars in the world, but we must
know this one fact: we know more than the scholars. Do you agree? The caveat,
something we have to watch out for, the very sad and important thing is:
let's say a grammar school child, a boy or girl receives a diamond. It
is a big hunk of diamond, but he doesn't yet know what it is or what value
it has. That is the problem, you see. If you pay the tuition, if you work
hard and really experience the pain of dying, then you learn, then you
know it is a diamond. That is the one thing we have to watch out for. So
how can we understand this? There is only one way as Father sees it, and
that is to suffer. Sacrifice and suffer: nobody likes it, just as no student
likes to study.

Here is the conclusion of love: because of love, all creation came into
being. When you hear that, do you feel good or feel bad? (Good.) When God
hears that, will he blame Reverend Moon for teaching love? "Why are
you doing that? You have more important things to do than teaching that!"
Do you think God would say that or would God follow him and also laugh
because He is happy, too? Not only your mouth and eyes laugh, but all the
cells of your body would laugh. Your hair, too! You cannot see it, but
that is because you cannot see with your spiritual eyes. If you could,
you would see that even your hair is dancing! We all are born because of
love and for the sake of love. Father may tell you this in a nice way,
but then he may call you a name and chastise you and say, "Do you
understand this, you moron? Do you understand, you good-for-nothing?"
He might call you many names, but if done for the sake of love, what would
you say? You would still be happy, no matter how he treats you.

You can experience that. You see a puppy walking in the street and you
know what a puppy likes: a big chunk of meat. If you imitate eating it,
the dog will be all attracted, with saliva coming out of his mouth and
when he does that, the dog will just jump straight at the meat without
even looking at you. When you have a chunk of meat, the dog will look at
your eye and your face to see if you are going to give it to him. Then
once you give it to him, he doesn't even look at you, he will just jump
at it and take it. Even a puppy does this.

You know how much we love our parents, our mothers and fathers. When
we are young, we can't really do without them, true? So all the time, we
tag along with them. But what happens when the sons and daughters grow
up and find love with another? They don't think about their father and
mother so much anymore. They jump into becoming fathers and mothers themselves.
The power of love can even purchase, even buy or sell a nation. It is so
powerful. You have heard of a political marriage, too, haven't you? Who
was it in the British royal family who forsook the throne for marriage?
King Edward. And what was the lady's name? (Wallace Simpson.)

When you see entertainers up on the stage, people get most excited and
laugh and applaud when they deal with the topic of love. Other things are
not that exciting. People may laugh at other things, but not from the bottom
of their hearts.

Have you already noticed, "Hey something is strange in the Unification
Church, something is different"? You might not say something is wrong,
but something is different. No other church ever talks about love so much
as the topic of a sermon. It becomes a very legitimate statement that anyone
or any minister whose sermon centers on love and makes everybody elated,
happy and laughing, would become the source of peace and happiness. This
is true not only for the religious sermon, but philosophical professing
and any other kind of teaching. When it centers on love, it can be a source
of peace. Peace comes from that. The politicians, philosophers, economists,
and people from all different walks of life would come and join in one
topic together, which is the topic of love, because that is the root of
their lives.

Until now, we have heard many things about love, but we never heard
about love for the sake of other people. Now people say, "Love me."
They want to draw love from another person. They even teach how to attract
love from others, but that is not what we are talking about. How to give
love is what we are talking about. That is what makes it different. All
these divided things now move toward being united because of this teaching
and the knowledge of how to love for the sake of others.

Love was destroyed. How can so many broken situations go toward a peaceful
direction? Only with True Love can we mend the past. From True Love, new
hope, a new idea, and a new starting point have appeared. Otherwise, there
is no way. We always have to testify, giving the individual viewpoint centered
on love. Testify about the family centered on love, testify to the nation
centered on love, and testify to the world centered on love. At last, we
will see the perishing of all self-centered love. It is dark, like the
dungeon of hell. From there we will find out a new way of living. The love
way is 180 degrees different. Love for the sake of others can make peace
on the earth for the first time. Without it, there is no hope.

(Father draws on the board.) Starting from God, directed towards mankind,
we are here. History came this way, from theism which is the idea centering
on God, there came humanism, the value system and philosophical idea centering
on man and materialism, where all value is bestowed on material. Here is
spiritualism, where the trend is to believe in God and believe in spirit;
here is materialism, which denies God and denies spirit world; then secular
humanism, people who don't admit to God or any spiritual experience. Now
we are reduced even further to this point where we are today. What do you
call it? What kind of a philosophy do we see today? (Nihilism.) Well nihilism
is like denying everything, like there is nothing, but people today have
something. It is not so worthwhile, but still they hold onto it. What is
it? Maybe we can give it the name of destructionism. Of course, there is
no such name, but it is descriptive of what we see today. Individualism
and destructionism have the same meaning. Centering on the individual,
one misguides and misuses women and men and even the nation and family.
It is because one tries everything centering on oneself that it doesn't
work. Nobody welcomes him, nobody responds, so he eventually becomes a
hippie. All people, the whole nation and family, remember that person drawing
everything towards him, so he cannot go far.

You know how much humankind has reduced itself through materialism.
Now here is destructionism, the worst time ever in human history and all
is breaking down. All these different philosophies: theism, even humanism
and materialism, more or less centered on love, too. Of course, it was
self-centered love. But with destructionism, even that is broken. Why do
they go down and down, why do they reduce even further? It is not necessarily
by human choice. In a way, this development is beyond human beings. In
history, there is such a thing as heavenly fate or a heavenly trend which
forms the direction of history. God plans this way, too.

We see the history of humankind has centered on self-centered love.
Now, as children of the True Parents, and brothers and sisters, we are
being taught about a new kind of love in which we live for the sake of
others. God's viewpoint is one of True Love and it starts right here with
True Parents. People want to come to True Parents and stay with them, but
even if they want to do that, they have no root. You can imagine a plant
without a root: it falters and the fruit will fall down. They cannot stay
in one place.

What is one characteristic you see today, no matter where you go, be
it Japan or Germany, America or anywhere? Mankind doesn't have any more
directions to go in. Nobody knows which way to go. Man constantly needs
to be satisfied. He has an antenna which communicates with a high level
of the spirit world. Without the love, emotion and enlightenment that antenna
picks up, man cannot live. Now, people don't know where to get that. Communication
has been all but cut off. What should they do? They supplement this by
taking drugs and exciting their bodies. They lost emotional True Love so
now they found the horizontal way. Every family and nation has experienced
that, it is free sex. After engaging in free sex they find out, but only
later, it does not satisfy them as they expected it to. To heal that wound,
they use drugs to try and forget it. But, as we know the drug world is
a bottomless pit. They keep on imagining emotion and that becomes very
dangerous territory.

The effect of True Love is incomparable to the effect of the strongest
drug or stimulation. Even these drugs lean on True Love, we can see that.
Once you connect to this world, it is like a huge radio, a huge amplifier
system which is broken. You cannot hear any sound whatsoever, but once
it is restored then a booming sound, not yet clear, will start working.
That huge sound is the message from spirit world. It will give us the clear
message and we will get excited. The True Love speaker starts to work and
the whole world will start waking up again. When it makes music, everybody
will stand up to dance. You may think the twist is an exciting dance, but
in this dance you can even fly while you dance!

Which is a better name for the way of thought we see today - destructionism?
Or do you have another name for it? This is the stage we are in now, after
materialism. One way to look at destruction is to explain it will naturally
disappear, but the other way is to think that someone will shatter or destroy
it. Which is correct? Will someone destroy it and make it disappear or
will it naturally disappear? (Naturally.) Why did you choose that answer?
With good reason: because God never attacks the enemy or accelerates the
decline of the enemy. It is natural, they are led to disappear.

(Father writes on the board.) Perhaps this is in order. Of course, it
is so close, this is again the virtue of dealing with the Chinese characters.
In English, there is no distinction. Only by paraphrasing can you distinguish
a difference. Destructionism will be destroyed naturally.

This is the Cain realm and this is the Abel realm. Father combined these
two. Here they came back in search of the original point while they were
persecuted and now they are being welcomed. They came back and are starting
anew. Therefore, Father was able to proclaim True Parents and the Completed
Testament era. It starts right here. That means from now on, the natural
trend will be towards Reverend Moon and his teaching will be more and more
welcome as time goes on and the satanic world will become less and less
and eventually be destroyed. Until now, people opposed the Unification
Church, not so much centered upon what the Unification Church teaches but
because of the leader of the Unification Church himself. Much persecution
has been met. Only a few people who teach forty day workshop have been
representing the Unification Church and sustaining the Unification Church
in that way. Now, that time is passing quickly and we are in the time of
equalization; in other words, the time when everything is equalized. We
all must become one and, centering on the family, each one is to have influence
over all different levels.

Now each family can begin centering on God's words. In each family,
we can start this through words. We start with the family and connect to
the tribe, then the nation, then the world. That is the way of expansion.
It begins from one point and expands out to the world. We have to know
this kind of concept to teach the word. You don't need men or power, but
words. Get the word out. Now the time has come to center on Father's words,
which are recorded in 200 volumes. We should center on Father's speeches
and the Divine Principle book. We should really not pay any attention to
what other people try to lure us to and try to teach us. We don't need
it. Once you know this, we can perfectly protect ourselves from the invasion
of the satanic world. If we can protect ourselves by listening to and heeding
Father's words and the Divine Principle book, then that will safely carry
us through. We have lots of hints and instruction on how to go through
this, through the millions of experiences Father has had. So many different
times, Father had to fight in each situation and that record is all there
in Father's words. By studying them, we can carry ourselves through similar
situations and win over them. Until now, in the Old Testament and New Testament
ages, there was a commandment, thou shall not only center on the individual.
Here, Father has taught us how to conduct ourselves in a family unit; what
to do and what not to do, how to live. He has taught us not only as a family,
but as a clan, nation, and as a member of the world. This is how to build
the kingdom of heaven on earth and after that connect to the spiritual
world. I am teaching the contents you need to win on every level. This
is a different formula I have given to you.

When we come to realize its value, we see it is truly a treasure. We
never knew the true value of that. Even though we weren't there, still
we now know from Father what happened in Adam's family thousands of years
ago. Jesus came to restore specifically that position and what Jesus had
to go through we clearly know now. The Bible teaches it clearly, too. Jesus
came and tried to restore Adam's position, also the whole world up until
Jesus' time. We know now.

This is Abel, the plus, subject person. Cain is the minus. Jesus arranged
the Cain and Abel world. There is no being which doesn't belong to either
a plus and minus position. Do we realize now that there is an unseen, but
strong reality of universal, heavenly fate? You call it heavenly destiny.
It is a definite, consistent power. It is so well balanced that we don't
realize how much pressure there is per certain square inch. When there
is the slightest imbalance, then it doesn't stop to exist. That is how
strongly the universal power protects the balance. When a person gets sick,
he remains in existence, but beyond that point, he leaves the earth or
dies, because the universal power will just push him out.

What Father is pointing out is that everything that comes into power,
everything that is subject and object in the pair system is protected by
the universe. In an imbalance, the universe eliminates them. Man and woman
are a pair. They have to make a pair at the universal embracing point.
The nation's center is a plus, the king or president, the people are minus.
Combined into one, they would attend the world formula which is the next
step up. They will embrace the larger heavenly fate or destiny. Americans
should think about that. President Clinton's administration and the American
people . . . heavenly fate will chase them out. No matter how strong America
is, they will immediately break down. You need a pair partnership. Do you
need that? Man needs woman. Woman needs man. Why? This is the universal
formula. You have to pass this law. This is the purpose behind making a
pair. You need the pair system concept.

Why has history trodden this way? Because heavenly power or heavenly
destiny has been eliminating that which does not stand for the Principle.
We see that it is a great power. No matter how big a plus even Father might
be, when there is no minus, this plus does not exist either. The way Father
lives is for the sake of the Unification Church itself, its members. Father
knows this is law. In his efforts to build the love pond, Father invested
and forgot everything. On the opposite side, his partner, all the Unification
Church members, are following. They cannot separate even if they want to.
They try to escape to some hidden place and dwell there but their minds
will still kick them out and pull them back. At last they will say "I'm
sorry for repeating that kind of action. Please let us come back. I repent,
please forgive me." Do you understand? Once you come to know True
Parents, you are forever connected. Even if just one time you touch the
Unification Church, then become an ex-Moony, no matter if you go around
the world you cannot leave living centered on Father. Your thoughts will
center around Father every day. Your mind cannot forget it.

Why? The mind never forsakes the pair purpose. "I have to go forever
centering on Father." Once you connect to Father, you connect to the
original essence place. Your mind understands and forever, it is looking
in that direction. Father's place is the center of True Love. As long as
Father remains as he has always been doing, working and living for the
sake of the Unification Church and its members, investing and forgetting
in the love pond of the Unification Church, then no matter how strong an
outer force may be to push out members of the Unification Church, because
of universal fate (which is so strong that no one can match it) the Unification
Church will never fail. So Father puts in and forgets, invests and forgets,
and Mother does the same. Many of us will start doing that too. What will
the water level of the pond be? It can only go up. It flows and overflows.
Always there is more need because there are more containers which need
to be filled.

Spirit world is immense; it has no limit. It is our eternal homeland.
It is an awesome, huge place. Do you like that? It is too big, too awesome.
Why does Father say that? Because it is the world we must be attuned to
and accustomed to. Look at individualism. Individualism has made us so
small and so full of bickering. It is just like the American national symbol
of the great bald eagle. He is created to go around the plains, around
the cliffs, and feed but if you catch that bald eagle and give him just
the bare necessities, just give him a daily ration, what kind of life would
that be for the bald eagle? That is what individualism has done. Are people
happy or unhappy? Miserable! They live in the dungeon of hell! How happy
do you think that bald eagle would be when somebody opens the cage and
liberates him? People who are liberated will go to God and bow a thousand
times. Even if they never bowed in their life, they will now bow a thousand
times. Aren't we like that today? Then wherever we go, that is our mission:
to give thanks. There is nothing better to do. Have we or have we not been
liberated by meeting the Unification Church? (Yes.) But how much have you
taken advantage of this? The door is open, have you gotten out or are you
still staying in there? Say you like to live in this realm. All right,
but do you want to live in an American realm or Reverend Moon's realm?
What is your comparison? How much bigger is Reverend Moon's realm? (Much
bigger.) You cannot count how much bigger! What better philosophy can you
find than the one that says we can occupy God Himself? Truly! Father says
you can even use God as your own servant! You can do that! If you love
your grandfather, he becomes your servant, right? In the perfection stage,
your True Love partner says, "I want to help you do that." Do
you follow? It's true! You have a mouth: say something! (Laughter.) How
much has the Creator of life been taking the patient way. You don't know
that, but you have to know. "I command you can do anything."
Ultimately, God's answer is like that. If He commands you one time, two
times, a hundred times and even ten times more than that, you have to follow
your real love partner's direction.

What Father is saying now is that we are in the position to even make
God our own servant. We are truly in that position, but what are we doing
now? What kind of miserable position are we still lingering in? Where are
you sitting now? Is this a great, honorable position or a miserable position?
You understand yourself and you understand well. Because it is our self,
we know. Once we know we are in a miserable situation, who can make it
change? God can't change that, True Parents can't change that. We don't
have to stay where we are. You have to do it yourself. Otherwise, there
is no way. The Divine Principle teaches you clearly. At last you have to
make perfection by fulfilling your five percent activity. Otherwise, there
is no way. Is this true or not? You cannot make excuses.

Father fought and Father paid indemnity and did away with materialism
and all these other types of thoughts. The new family starts now. If I
perfect my family right here, it automatically means the perfection of
my clan, my nation, my whole world. I can even go on to liberating God,
no question about it. I can do it by studying this truth. This is the fulfillment
of the Completed Testament era. Centering on True Love, a person can make
every place under that kind of control which is the purpose of the completion
idea. Centering on your perfect love is the perfection of everything.

Father just mentioned how history came to be. Adam and Eve failed and
Jesus came to restore that. We know the extent of Jesus' work and now here
comes the Second Advent, who becomes plus to all these minuses. But the
mainstream of True Love still continues. The direction of True Love and
the action of True Love remain the same as all through history. Before
creation, that concept existed. After Adam and Eve were created, the same
concept still held. After the fallen world came into being, the same concept
was the center of hope for all surrounding things to be taken away and
cleaned up. After that, they can connect to the new world. Father made
this perfection-making result centering on True Parents in the Completed
Testament Age. The surrounding obstacles will be cleaned up. For those
knowing this truth, Satan cannot touch them any time or anywhere. We are
taking back God's ideal. We can remake our land, our power centering on
the family, connecting to the tribe, making the place of perfection. After
that, the tribe will combine into one and the nation will be perfected.
The nation combines into one and we reach world perfection. The world will
combine into one and make spiritual perfection, which is the kingdom of
God on earth and in spirit world. Do you understand?

Father is now explaining why the Unification Church had to come into
being. It was for this purpose. It is going back to restore the original,
first True Love ideal where the fall of Adam's family took place and to
finish the incomplete restoration of that which is still in bonds. Now,
we go back there and liberate them. This is what the Unification Church
was established for. If you trace back all these works that were at one
time or another the main thought, what is the one main thought which has
been different from other thoughts? If we can itemize or detail that, number
one is the restoration of elder sonship, or establishing elder sonship.
What was the second one? Parentship. The third one is kingship. And the
fourth is royal familyship. These four are all included in this main thought.

History moved the way it did, but nobody knew where or why. Now, with
the knowledge of Divine Principle, we are about to restore the whole thing
at one time by restoring this royal familyship and kingship and parentship
and elder sonship. That means Adam must become the eldest son, not Cain.
Adam must become True Parents. Adam must own kingship and also, the royal
familyship. If Adam would have gained elder sonship in the beginning, then
all the families of Adam, would have belonged to the royal family automatically.
There is only one root, and by establishing elder sonship, he could have
become parents and the king and the royal family would all belong to one
root, not different roots. Do you understand?

The moment you decide, "Yes, I will become a Unification Church
member," then instantly you have restored your elder sonship. That
means you can be an elder son and you can be parents, and you can inherit
the kingship and the royal familyship, all at the same time. Nothing can
stop you. Human history is symbolically six thousand years old, but in
reality it is much older than that. For hundreds of thousands of years,
all people have been waiting to get into this position. With the appearance
of Father and the opening of the gate, we finally can. Anyone can. The
moment one decides himself to belong here, he can do this.

All things and all people, good or bad, are waiting for the emergence
of True Parents, "When are they going to come and liberate us?"
No living being either here or in spirit world, can ever become a true
person without connecting to True Parents because they all are born of
false parents. The Lord to come has these and also lots of other seeds:
seeds of True Love, that means True Love children. If you plant the tiniest
seed, it will become a huge tree. With all these, for the first time we
can begin going to heaven. Jesus was asked where heaven is and he answered,
" Heaven is in your mind." But that was only a very primary,
symbolic answer. But with this new understanding, we go into heaven in
the family. Now we have a much clearer understanding. We love the world
and the universe just like God loves the world and the universe. God loves
humankind and all creatures, and like God, we can do the same. We practice
and we come to realize, "Yes, God is my partner. God is my subject,
my master, my parent." Everybody wants a real parent, a real owner
and a real master. People want to have a real relationship on those three
levels. We want to stand in that position; we want to stand with our partner.
It is like God's attitude. We have to make that combination in the subject/object
place too.

These are a part of the mainstream thought in dispensational history.
In other words, you can forget the rest, but remember this "Have I
restored elder sonship, my vested right?" In order to make sure you
restored this, the test is to check yourself. If you can say, "No
matter how many people came against me, my brother, my uncle, all my relatives,
near and close, friends, and also all womanhood came against me, but I
repelled them, I did not succumb to them, won over them," then you
know you have elder sonship.

We have to continue marching to the point where in spite of all the
opposition, you're not the loser, but they lose and stop opposing you.
They say, "Yes, you are right, I am following you." That is a
natural subjugation and we have to go until that point. To do that, we
have to trod the long patient way, as God has been taking the patient way
through a long, long history. Just like God Himself, we must persevere
and persevere. During this time, Satan's family has been looking good,
but now they will come down to the individual way, becoming hippies, yippies,
yuppies.

Those peoples' minds are a vacant place. The world should occupy America.
Instead, American people think, "America leads the world, all countries.
The American brood is the number one race." This is a vacant room.
How can you fill up that mind? It is a problem. No matter how happy or
hopeful America is, everything will be cast out. God will destroy it. No
matter how attractive it may be, it will be passing. We should resolve:
"I will hold on to and never let go of love, in spite of my life."
This is the best love. What is the essence, of True Love? God. Occupy God's
mind. "With a True Love essence, I occupy everything." God's
eyes will follow you everywhere. How wonderful! At that time God will stand
face to face and say, "I want to make contact with you!" "Yes,
yes God." You give all your love too. Your world will open. In there,
of course, is the original connection God has to you. The same is true
of your love. That is equal way, the "no-complaint" way of God
and humankind. This is high level love. Low level love going up there is
like airplane. When a high pressure area exists, a low pressure area will
come in automatically. It is an automatic action.

In Africa there are starving people, 20 million people dying in one
year. America is a rich country. "We don't want to know about your
starving people." This is a natural phenomena of resistance. How can
we supply them? That is the way nature acts. Air and water naturally move
into an empty place and fill it up in the horizontal way. Is that true?
That activity is natural. Those who are against it can only perish. They
are diminishing and going down. This is the natural perspective of God's
ideal.

We know now, more clearly what is heaven: elders' authority, parents'
authority, kings authority and royal family authority. These four should
exist forever. Do you agree this is heaven? Yes, we know by concept, but
are we like this already? Then we should go for it. With these ideas deep
in his bosom, Father went into prison, and when they hit Father, Father
hit them back invisibly by saying, "You hit me? Hit me more."
Father knows eventually this destructionism will disappear, sooner or later.
But this world of goodness will become larger and larger as more persecution
comes. Father knew this. Those who feel "I cannot go back to the old
world, I cannot go back to falling again knowing this," those who
are confident about this realization, raise your hands. Is that just what
you want or will you do it? (Do it!) Your sound is strange, not direct.
That sound should come direct from your guts, "Yes, I can never fall
again and I will accomplish this."

Do you want to take responsibility for the whole world, or do you think
that is too big, that just one nation will do? Or do you say, "No,
Father, I will just take care of my clan," or "I will just take
care of my village"? Which do you say? (The whole world.) Father says
you have to know your ability. (Laughter.) If you are overly ambitious,
it is impractical. Father calls you thieves and robbers. You are robbing
Father of love. You can say, "Well, God, You have done that hundreds
of times and thousands of times. I am just beginning to try one time. What
have You got against me?" This is what you have to say to God. "You
have been repeating the restoration course over and over through history,
but for me it is only one time. You repeated many times, but could not
do it. The bad world will disappear in front of me. I will do it."
You have to have that kind of guts. Do you understand?

Are we today, in 1993, becoming stronger than we ever were? Look at
the time when Father was young and still searching for Divine Principle,
in search for the solution to these complicated problems. Even at that
time Father was full of zeal, but now Father has accomplished everything
and won all the foundation. In which time can we be more excited and more
confident? (Now.) A frog makes a big noise like this (Father demonstrates.)
That's how the frog goes. It has a big balloon that comes out. Sometimes
that balloon is bigger than the frog itself. They are demonstrating, even
these small animals, that they can become bigger than what they are. We
should do that even more. Male animals fight with each other to win superiority-we
have to do that. We've got to get so excited at this time that we are happy
even at the idea that we are alive today. Even the fact that we were born
at this time is thrilling. You were born in Father's age! This will not
happen two times in history, only one time. Compared to all history, this
is like one small dot in time. And you were born now-how much happiness
and grace is standing on you. You should be proud of everything. You should
want to do more and more, as if twenty-four hours a day is too short. We
have to run like that today. All the slumbering souls-everybody is sleeping,
we know that. Literally, they are sleeping, but we work hard and bring
the blessing and dump it on them. We can imagine how grateful they will
be. We are going everywhere, finding the space to fill in, like water and
air. In some place there might be only a tiny, little space, but still
it is filled with air. Water has the same action. We are the same, too,
centering on True Love. Love has the same meaning as air and water. Do
you understand? Your lover every time wants that kind of activity. "I
will dwell in that place and fill it up, making the horizontal way."
Like water and air, love-making will fill up in the original way. We say
we are the love race centering on God's True Love, is that true? Who are
you? (Love race.) The True Love race! How wonderful a concept we have!

Now, what do you think? Is your position enjoyable or miserable? Are
you sitting in a hopeful position or a miserable position? Open bigger
and bigger, more than the limit is open. Open your mouth, your nose, your
ears that big-with that action there is no limit there. Think about that.
That's like Father. Taking that kind of action, I built this foundation
all over the world. The spiritual world welcomes me. Satan's way has at
last been defeated. Standing in that place, they say, "Welcome Reverend
Moon. I will follow and dedicate myself to you." How wonderful an
idea we have. How proud we should be. From now, everyone raise your hands,
"We are going to be proud everywhere we go, taking the center concept
and we are going to attend the end point of establishing the partner position
by making that horizontal way." How wonderful that kind of activity
and result looks to me. How enjoyable for me. How can you compare it to
anything else? Everyone will think, "I want that." We can ask
them, "Do you want this?" and they will say, "Yes, yes!"
For thousands and thousands of years and more, people have wanted that.
Finally God can say, "I am becoming liberated." Freedom is there
centering on God. God can have freedom, happiness, peace, hope, everything.
This takes place in the ideal concept.

God has been miserable forever, but this is solved by the Second Advent.
He is the real elder son, the true authority. It becomes an automatic victory
for Father. For the king, victory is under control of the royal family.
Good or bad every time, day or night, every time they are welcome. Overseas,
all our lives they are welcoming us in. That is our terminal purpose. How
wonderful we are. By teaching that, we will automatically lift up others.
They didn't see that before but their mouths will say a "Mansei!"
big enough to fill up the universe. The whole universe will be made into
the ideal world. Do you understand?

What is the purpose or the reason for establishing the Unification Church?
It was so we could restore all these that were lost, to bring liberation
to God. That is our mainstream thought. To accomplish that, the Unification
Church was established: to restore God's ideal world and live centering
on True Love. When people learn about such a Unification Church, should
they welcome it or reject it? We must understand about the resurrection
of the world to come. It will happen at the same time Reverend Moon's name
is resurrected. When Reverend Moon's name is resurrected, that will be
the same time that the world is resurrected. Because of this mainstream,
the Unification Church will become plus and the rest of the world will
be minus, but our purpose is to bring them together, so we will become
minus ourselves for the much bigger plus, which is God. Even God, when
He reaches the top, what does He do next? He begins to come down and we
go up. Don't you see: there actually will be a day when the rich people
will have their turn to become poor and the poor people will become rich.
They are changing positions. Maybe it will be done by lottery. How interesting
it will be when the one who lives in America goes there to live and the
other way around. This historical phenomena will appear.

We should regard that with happiness. How wonderful it is to be alive
and go to the other part of the planet. No matter how harsh the environment
may be in Africa, the one who lives in a mansion in New York will go to
Africa, to the remotest countryside, and will be full of hope. There will
be no house, no running water, only wilderness. They are hopeful, thinking,
"Now I am experiencing the life of my own brother and sister who have
lived here all their lives and all their ancestors' lives. How miserable
they were. Now I am experiencing what they went through and I am glad.
I am hopeful." If we do that and then go to spirit world, we will
never go to hell. We can't even remember there is such a thing as hell.
Hell disappears, in other words. It could not exist, do you understand?
You have to clean up the dungeon of hell. How can we make that kind of
purpose on the earth? Only by going down to the miserable, dark place.
It will immediately change. You can lift it up by going down there. Soon
it will start rolling and rolling and growing bigger and bigger forever.
It will fill up that huge, awesome kingdom of heaven. Otherwise, there
is no way.

Do you feel good or hopeful when you hear Father say these things? Feel
good or feeling is good, which one? Both? (Both!) So, going all four direction
in that straight way is no problem? How happy we are! (Col. Han sighs.
Father asks, "What are you doing?" Col. Han replies, "Experiencing
happiness.")

Now we know. It is our mainstream thought to restore these and enter
into that kingdom we described. This is our mission as members of the Unification
Church. This is God's ideal-the creation ideal of perfection is to make
that four position foundation. That foundation is the True Love core connecting
you. That is the purpose of the Unification Church. Because of the fall,
we have to restore, and through these four principles of mainline thought,
we are about to restore. Next year is the 40th year since the establishment
of Unification Church, so at this time Father is announcing and proclaiming
the Completed Testament era of True Parents. The ideals of democracy are
not permanent. Their time will pass. Parentism is the more enduring thought.
You cannot go any further than True Lovism. This is the mainstream thought.
There will be no democracy at that time, at least not democracy as we know
it. It is the mainstream activity to restore these things which God originally
intended to establish, but which humankind has never seen and still remain
as a dream. By accomplishing this, we will have accomplished the will of
God. This is the mainstream thought, not only for the Unification Church,
but the whole world will follow in our wake. To God there is only one mainstream;
there are not two mainstreams, even though humankind fell. God has been
working centering on one mainstream. Of course, when man fell, He worked
especially to restore it, but the mainstream remained the same. Historically,
philosophically, theologically-whatever your classification or liking is,
still having these elements, this is the headwing thought and this is God's
thought. Headwing thought is centering on True Love. That's all. God is
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Starting from the family, it
becomes like this and it connects at the family. The family, clan, race,
the nation, the world, the universe-even the universe must be perfected
centering on that family. After Father having won over all these levels,
he is now returning back to the family and the perfection of that family
will be the perfection of all things here. Satan no longer has any place
to claim in any of these areas. That family is the True Love center. The
plus and minus are here in the three stages. The whole thing becomes a
minus to this plus. Do you understand that concept? So your family right
here represents both right wing and left wing as well. The right sphere,
left sphere, front sphere, rear sphere, upper sphere, lower sphere: all
are combined and united. Again, repeating, you must have confidence that
perfecting your family means that you have perfected not only your family,
but that automatically leads to the perfection of your clan, your race,
your country, your world and your cosmos, too.

We all are Blessed couples, aren't we? Time passes so quickly, you know.
We should not waste time, but work for this goal. This is the core plus.

Today we celebrate the 39th anniversary and the 40th year of the establishment
of the Unification Church. After putting everything into an orderly fashion,
now Father is being liberated. After Father's upcoming speeches here in
America, America will have nothing to do with Father. Father has nothing
to do with America. Now he moves directly and literally into the world.
Does that mean we have to bid good-bye? You understand everything. Father
gave everything to you. No matter what else happens, if, you just follow
Father's action, you will have no problem. A professors purpose and dream
is how to make many new professors who are even better than himself. God
is the same in His hope for True Parents. After their perfection, True
Parents will, grow and expand horizontally all over the world. That is
True Parents purpose. It is the same meaning. Your family wants to expand;
how can you expand in your category, making that kind of realm? After you
pass away, your property is there. Do you understand? It is your property
forever. Your name is engraved on it, that shows your ownership. In there,
no one can take action against you. Think about if you miss the chance
and you have no place to stand. How miserable you would be. True Father
understood that concept and has expanded everywhere, all over the world,
night and day, now connecting and broadcasting. From now, everyone will
be connected over the oceans, over the seas. I made that foundation to
make preparation.

Susan, you are a captain in the fishing world? Who did that? (You did,
Father.) Is that true? I don't know. I am making that strange foundation
over the woman's world, too.

Now we know. With utmost confidence, we shouldn't wobble. We cannot
wobble again after knowing everything. In this early spring, the first
day of May, when everything is coming back to life again and prospering,
we are too. Father gives us the command and gives us the blessing. We must
open up our own mind and discard all the old and bring in the new and become
a new person and become a very victorious person ourselves. To become a
victory fruit is our whole life purpose. We understand that clearly now.
Those who say, "Father, we will become the ancestor in this still
barren land, and just like you did, we will take care of this country and
we will fill this country with our own offspring like you did in the world.
I will do that with confidence," raise your hands. Amazing! Thank
you and God bless you.
